BECEPTACLE.

Application filed January 27, 1925. SeriaLNo. 5,009.

This invention relates, generally, to improvements in receptacles;and,.the present invention has reference, more particularly, to a noveland simple, as well as an ornamental construction of receptacle, whichis adapted for use as a safety device, into which may be depositedblades of the safety razor type, after such blades have become useless.

The present invention has for its principal object to provide a .novel,simp e and neat device, which may be used in the dressing room, for thereception of used and-discarded safety-razor blades, thedevice com-'prising a mam ornamental casing or shell to be used as a permanentfixture in the dressing room, and a blade-receivin receptacle, nestedand removably disposed within said casing or shell, into which thediscarded razor-blades are deposited and collected, the filledblade-receiving receptacle being removed from the casing or shell forfinal disposal of the said receptacle and the blades contained therein.

Other objects of the present invention not at this time moreparticularly enumerated will be clearly understood from the followingdetailed description of the present invention.

With the various objects of the present invention in view, the saidinvention consists, primarily, in the novel receptacle for thecollection of discarded safety-razor blades hereinafter set forth; and,the said invention consists, furthermore, in the novel arrangements andcombinationsof the various devices and parts, as well as in the detailsof the construction ofthe said parts, all of which will be more fullydescribed in the following specification, and then finally embodied inthe clauses of the claims which are appendedto and which form anessential part of the said specification.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich Figure 1 is a side elevation of a receptacle showing oneembodiment of the principles of the present invention, illustrating inconnection therewith, means for the attachment of the device to the wallof the dressing room, or the like; and Figure 2 is a front face view ofthe said device. s

Figure 3 is a transverse vertical sectional representation of thereceptacle; Figure 4 is a top view of the same; and Figure 5 is ahorizontal sectional representation of the receptacle.

Flgure dis a side elevation of the receptacle, showmg in connectiontherewith certam attachments, as a shelf and a razorholdmg rack; Fi ure7 is a front elevation ofthe device; an Figure 8 is a top or plan viewof the same.

Figure 9 is a side. elevation of still another modified form ofreceptacle embodying the principles or" the present invention.

Sim lar characters of reference are employed in all of the said abovedescribed vlews, "to indicate correspondin parts.

Referring now to the said rawings, the reference-character ,1 indicatesthe complete receptacle, the same comprising a main outer shell oreasing 2, usually of metal, although it may be made-of any othersuitable material, in which is removably disposed an inner receptacle 3,made of an inferior material, such as card-board or the like. in theaccompanying drawings, the receptacles 2 and 3 are shown in the shape ofcylinders, but it will be evident that they may be of any other suitableshape.

As shown, the said main shell or casing is closed at one end by a member4, so as to form a bottom, said member being suitably secured in a fixedposition to said shell or casing. The said member or bottom 4; is alsoformed with a suitably shaped fingerreceiving opening 5, and with asuitable arrangement of upwardly projecting pins or studs 6. The upperopen end-portmn of the said main shell or casing 2 is provided with aremovable cover 7, formed with an annularflange 8 adapted to be fittedin said open end-portion of the said shell or casing, and provided witha laterally extending pin or stud 9, or similar means, adapted to entera slot 10 with which the said shell or casing 2 is provided, for holdingsaid cover in a predetermined position for the purposes to be presentlymore fully set forth. The said cover 7 is also formed with an elongatedopening or slot 11 and with a suitably constructed lifting means 12, inthe form of a handle, or the'like. I At its rear portion the said mainshell or casing 2 is provide with rearwardly extending portions, as 13,bent laterally in opposite directions,'as at 14, said portions 14: beingprovided with grasping members 15.

A suitably formed fastening plate 16, or the like, is held between thesaid grasping members 15, said plate being secured by means of screws17, or other suitable fastening means, to the woodwork of the wall ofthe dressing room, or the like.

If desired, at the lower end-portion of the said plate 16, there ma bean arrangement of a suitably formed racket 18, provided with a shelf 19,which may be suitably forked, as at 20, for suspension therefrom of asafety-razor.

If desired, in some cases, there may also be attached to the upperend-portion ot' the fastening plate 16, a suitably shaped shelf or tray,as 21, for storing therein unused razor-blades, soap, or the like.

The previously mentioned inner receptacle is closed at its ends bymembers 22 and 23. The lower member 22 is provided with perforations orholes 24 corresponding to the location of and for the reception of thepreviously mentioned pins or studs 6 of the outer casing bottom 4, andthe upper member 23 is formed with a laterally extending and elon atedreceiving slot or opening 25 corresponding to the location of the slotor opening 11 with which the cover 7 of the main shell or casing 2 isprovided. The

ins or studs 6, when engaged with the perolations 24, hold the innerreceptacle 1n predetermined position so that the slot 25 thereof isproperly aligned with the slot 11 in the outer casing cover 7. I

In lieu of providing the receptacle 1 with the means of attachment shownin the herein-above described Figures 1 to 8 inclusive, the main shellor casing 1 may be provided with flanged members 26, as indicated innigure 9 of the drawings, which are suitably perforated for thereception of the fastening screws 27, for attachment of the device tothe wall, or the like.

Of course, I am aware, that various other changes may be made in thegeneral arrangements and combinations of the various devices and parts,as well as in the details of the construction of the said parts, withoutdeparting from the scope of the present invention as set forth in theforegoing description. Hence, I do not limit my present invention to theexact arrangements and combinations of the various devices and parts, asdescribed in the said specification, nor do I confine myself to theexact details of the construction of the said parts, as illustrated inthe accompanying drawings. From the foregoing description, it will beseen, that I have devised a simple and ornamental device, which is mostuseful for the collection of discarded safety-razor blades, which areinserted in the slot or opening 11 of the main shell or casing, and thenpermitted to drop tnrough said slot or opening 11, into and through theslot or opening 25 of the inner receptacle 3, so as to be collectedwithin said tacle may be readily withdrawn for final disposal of saidinner receptacle and the used razor-blades contained therein. discardedreceptacle is thereon replaced by another, the replacing receptaclebeing properly engaged upon the pins or studs (5, so that it assumes aiixed position against rotation within the main or outer receptacle. Thecover 7 is then replaced. in predetermined position upon said outerreceptacle, so as to bring the slots 11 and 25 into alinement, wherebythe device is ready to receive another supply of used and discardedrazorblades, as will be evident.

I claim A used safety razor blade receiver comprism a permanent outercasing having a slotted cover, an inner removable and discardablereceptacle of inferior material having closed ends, the upper end ofsaid inner receptacle having a slot for alignment with the slotted coverof said outer casing, and means to prevent accidental displacement ofsaid inner receptacle from operative assembled relation to said outercasin 2.
